How to make a dead leg

Dead legs are one of those rare decorations that go well with just about anything. They look great sticking out from a desk, a dumpster, a car, or whatever you want.

     To make a dead leg, stuff an old sock with paper. Cut off a pant leg and cover the sock with it. Stick it in a shoe. Duct tape the whole thing together. 

 Done. 

Dead legs are one of those rare decorations that go anywhere.

The Returning Tennis Ball Trick

You (holding a tennis ball): “I am going to throw this ordinary tennis ball very hard. Just as you would expect, it will leave my hand with great speed. But then, in mid air, it will stop, reverse direction, and then return directly to my hand!”

     Smile mysteriously, wind up with great effort…and throw it straight up into the air.
